In LASD codes, what does "10-7" indicate regarding a unit's availability?

  1. Available for assignment

  2. Unresponsive

  3. Currently not available

  4. On patrol

The correct answer is: Currently not available

In the context of LASD codes, "10-7" specifically indicates that a unit is currently not available. This could mean that the unit is occupied with another assignment, involved in an incident, or otherwise unable to respond to additional calls for assistance. This is an important designation as it helps dispatchers manage and allocate resources effectively, ensuring that officers are not dispatched to new calls when they are already engaged in other duties. Understanding these codes enhances communication among units and provides clarity regarding resource availability in a dynamic environment.
